Introdu c t i o nThis booklet has only one purpose: to enable devotees not fluent in Western musical notation to play Paramahansa Yogananda’s Cosmic Chants with the correct notes and rhythm. There is a deep need for such an aid. There are a large number of devotees all over the world who have difficulty in playing the Cosmic Chants because they cannot read the notes. Some try to play “by ear,” and the playing is not always accurate. Others ask more knowledgeable devotees to show them the notes, which they try to memorize. And yet others just do not attempt playing the chants, thinking the task “too difficult.”

And so a gulf has grown between devotees who can read (western) music and those who cannot. This booklet is meant to close that gap and thus open the door to playing any one of Guruji’s Cosmic Chants for both private or group meditation, even with no musical training!

The door opens to amazing vistas, suggested by the following selected quotations taken from Paramahansa Yogananda’s own words in his Prelude to the Cosmic Chants:

Each of the Cosmic Chants in this book has been spiritualized; that is, at various gatherings each song has been sung aloud and mentally until the chanters found actual response from God. It is hoped that every reader will sing these chants, not as ordinary music to please the ear or emotions, but as soul-saturated songs to be used for divine communion.

One who sings these spiritualized songs, Cosmic Chants , with true devotion will find God-communion and ecstatic joy, and through them the healing of body, mind, and soul.

Since that evening, (referring to the chanting of “O God Beautiful” at Carnegie Hall for one hour and twenty five minutes) “I have sung these chants thousands of times with Western and Eastern audiences and have seen divine benefits showered on devotees who chant with love the Lord’s blessed Name".

This booklet is designed to supplement Paramahansaji’s Cosmic Chants

The booklet can help you play the chants more or less correctly, but there is additional information, both obvious and subtle, like tempo, trills etc. which have not been included. Once one is familiar with the chant, one can easily incorporate the recommended tempo, for example, from informa-tion given in Cosmic Chants.

Most important, Paramahansaji’s Cosmic Chants is far more than a collection of notes. As with all books published by Self-Realization Fellowship, Cosmic Chants is saturated with the vibrations of the great Guru, and there are treasures on practically every page. The Prelude written by Guruji on December 4, 1938 should be read by anyone aspiring to play and sing his chants. The Introduction by Self Realization Fellowship contains valuable information on playing the chants and also an explanation of the time signatures and tempi. You will find throughout this booklet many references to Cosmic Chants. For ex-ample, each chant in the booklet references the appropriate page number in Cosmic Chants . Thus this booklet can supplement but does not supplant Guruji’s book.

How to Use This Booklet

The system used is very simple. On each page, you will see a picture of the harmonium keyboard, with the actual keys used in the chant labeled as A, B, C, C# and so on. These labels represent the notes in western musical notation.

Then the chant is written with the exact keys to be played corresponding to the words or syllables of each word. Just look at the picture and play! It is that simple.

There is a third line, giving the timing for each note. In western musical notation there are full notes, half notes, quarter notes, and so on. All of us understand when we play a note half as long as another one. The traditional western music notation indicates this, but for the novice it may seem complicated. It has now been demystified and the actual fractions are indicated below each note.

Underlined fractions indicate that the note may be held longer. A fraction in brackets means a rest, or pause, for the duration of that fraction. For example, [¼] means a quarter note rest, or pause. Notes in parentheses ( ) indicate alternate readings. The symbol “||” at the beginning and end of a passage indicates that the passage should be repeated.

Finally, where space permits, there is a blank space below the fractions for those devotees who may wish to translate the notes into another notational system-- the Indian, for example.

Many of us are very familiar with the chants but the actual notes have been inaccessible. So now you can dive in and enjoy!

This was undertaken by a few devotees of the Boston Center of Self-Realization Fellowship as a personal project. It has been checked for accuracy by skilled musician devotees including a senior monastic at Mother Center who has professional music training.

Since many have asked for copies, we offer this freely in loving gratitude to our great Guru, Paramahansa Yogananda. We have been permitted to distribute this informally by the sole organization our Guru has established to carry on his work, Self-Realization Fellowship. We offer this at the lotus feet of our Master.

~ Jai Guru ~
